  • Essay / Essay On Colorline - 1159

    There have been articles about African Americans rubbing the American flag on their butts like it was toilet paper. Americans disagree with the photos and this has sparked a global problem. There were also photos of African Americans stomping on the American flag. Some Americans took it so offensively that they commented on the photos "go back to Africa." Yes, I think the photos were unnecessary and disrespectful, but that doesn't mean we should say "go back to Africa." White people commit crimes too. Why are there no comments on where white people should go? Where are white people supposed to go if they mess up? Even when Mexicans commit a crime, people say “go back to Mexico.” They shouldn't have to, we are all guilty of doing something wrong that doesn't mean we have to leave the United States. In the news they always say "white cop kills black man", instead it should be "cop kills man after..." Cops deserve more respect, but we Americans don't. think they are racist. You never know who has a gun or who is going to hurt you. I think people should put themselves in a world of cops and see who they would kill if necessary and how would they feel if their lives were in danger while everyone else sits at home safe and laughs at them because they are racist.
